    9:30PM: I had some fun with smoke bombs. I lit like 5 in my back yard and there was this pretty big smoke could going into my front yard. Sense it looked so cool I searched for some more smoke bombs, and all I could find was like 3. But then I lit them in the feild and that was cool. There was this cloud of blue smoke like 4 and a half feet from the ground. It was soo cool.

    HAHAHA... this is like 25 minutes from my house, maybe I should drive over there and wait for him and take some pictures and post them online and send them to the Mike A, and maybe one to the kid himself with a link to the story about how he *hacked*(snickering) a honeypot. There could be a ton of fun with this. HA... plus in a few hours I am going to the TC BSD User Group meeting. I wonder if his momma is gonna drop him off there... :) I will be looking for you Mason Elmore a.k.a. OmegaKidd
